and I envy their consistency; it seems so priceless

As will probably surprise no one who knows my knitting, all my spring knitting plans were put aside on a whim as soon as I put these skeins next to each other.  Thanks to a long weekend where I had plenty of knitting-on-transport time, I've made quite a bit of progress on a Paulie that I plan to keep.   (I'm not following the paulie stripe pattern because I don't have enough of any of these colors to do so.  And I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I won't run out of the gray, but I think it's likely that I'll be ISOing on Ravelry for more.)

But my current dilemma is that I am a little smitten with the reverse stockinette side.  So I have *almost* decided that I'm going to make it the front side.
But then I see the stockinette side from a distance, and I think maybe it should be the front after all.

Since I'm not doing a very good job of deciding myself, any and all input is welcome!  I don't have any long weekends coming up, so I probably have a while yet before I really have to decide...

I miss knitting. I think I'm going to carry it to my outing tonight, and maybe get it out, but actual knitting....? Well, that seems overly hopeful.

Wamps! What is this forlorn non-knitting? I have a skein of Hear Me Now (that I almost put up for destash since I have no immediate plans for it and too much yarn that does have immediate plans) which I will happily send your way if it would inspire.

Awww, I kind of want to take you up on the offer. It's pretty bad, knitting wise. I've been on two long plane rides in the last week or so and on the first trip, I took knitting, but didn't knit at all. And on the other, I decided not to bother with bringing knitting. What have I become?
